Our Story

From lived experience to a movement for healing.

Founded in Austell, Georgia by Jamia Morrow, LPC, Br8K Thru Support Services Inc. was built on a simple belief: survival isn't the goal. Healing is. We blend licensed clinical care with bold, modern experiences that meet people where they are.

We serve individuals, couples, families, youth, and entire communities navigating trauma, grief, burnout, anxiety, and life transitions. Our work is grounded in dignity, cultural humility, and clinical excellence.

Vision

A global agency providing counseling, education, and trauma care for marginalized communities.

We serve individuals in survival mode experiencing mental health and/or substance abuse issues with limited access to opportunity, empowering clients and building a healed community. Our vision is a world where mental health is prioritized and people have the resources and support to lead balanced, fulfilling lives.

Mission

To rebuild traumatized communities by strengthening individuals and breaking cycles of imbalance.

We provide mental health services, substance abuse counseling, advocacy, and skill-building workshops for individuals, families, and groups. By reducing stress, anxiety, depression, and substance use through education, training, and professional services, we foster healthier, more resilient communities.

Why Br8K Thru

Because surviving is not the same as living.

We pair clinical excellence with experiences like the rage room, group work, and community events that make healing real.

Our Values

The principles that shape every interaction.

Compassion First

Every session begins and ends with empathy. You are never a case file.

Trauma-Informed

Evidence-based modalities that honor safety, choice, and collaboration.

Community-Centered

Healing is collective. We invest in the neighborhoods we serve.

Innovative Healing

Therapy meets experience, from talk therapy to embodied release.
